Alternative stock structure hypotheses for the southern African hake resources

This document summarises alternative stock structure hypotheses for the southern African hakes. The alternatives put forward could apply to either M. capensis or M. paradoxus. In the scenarios to be considered, the stock structure as modelled for M. capensis and M. paradoxus does not need to be the same for both species. Some of the hypotheses illustrated for age-structured movement patterns are, however, species specific
